Lets use LLMs for things LLMs are useful for. It is not a panacea, and it is not appropriate for every use case

What is it useful for? I actually have a hard time finding a use for it… Its alright at book recommendations, sometimes.

Movie recommendations is my biggest thing, personally. And lots of other purposes. Just because a ton of people are misusing this tool and treating it like GAI doesn’t mean that it isn’t a useful tool

Definitely proof reading. Especially for people who can barely write intelligibly. They can check themselves if the meaning is still correct and they will learn grammar from the process.

Looks like click-bait. It is a proposal from by one old fart in the 800 member House of Lords. Not a serious Bill.

Having said that, it is important to nip such ideas in the bud.

Phreeli won’t, at least, offer a platform for spammers and robocallers, Merrill says. Even without knowing users’ identities, he says the company will block that kind of bad behavior by limiting how many calls and texts users are allowed, and banning users who appear to be gaming the system. “If people think this is going to be a safe haven for abusing the phone network, that’s not going to work,” Merrill says.

A New Anonymous Phone Carrier Lets You Sign Up With Nothing but a Zip Code
Nicholas Merrill received a hand delivered National Security Letter from the FBI in 2004, ordering him to give up data on one of his customers.
Merrill opened it and read the letter while the agent waited. The first and second paragraphs told him he was hereby ordered to hand over virtually all information he possessed for one of his customers, identified by their email address, explaining that this demand was authorized by a law he’d later learn was part of the Patriot Act.
The third paragraph informed him he couldn’t tell anyone he’d even received this letter—a gag order.
He then fought a landmark, decade-plus legal battle against the FBI and the Department of Justice. As the owner of an internet service provider in the post-9/11 era, Merrill had received a secret order from the bureau to hand over data on a particular user—and he refused. He refused and won.
After that, he spent another 15 years building and managing the Calyx Institute, a nonprofit that offers privacy tools like a snooping-resistant version of Android and a free VPN that collects no logs of its users’ activities.
Now the completely anonymous phone service. The full article is worth the read.

Of course. They are gathering data from people who have never even had a meta account.

Yes because of someone installs the Facebook app they have had their phone contacts list slurped. They then build a map of our circles of friends.

I “lost” my old FB account because they demanded my ID to verify my legal name, near 11 years ago. I fucking refuse, and will always refuse. Fuck Zucc.

I changed to a plausible sounding name and it worked. I prepared a doctored passport image but it wasn’t necessary.
For another, The FB account they wanted me to get at least two user friends to verify they know me or some bs like that. I didn’t butter. Years later I was able to log into that one anyhow.
They know that they can’t push too hard.
